What the Obituaries Didn't Tell You About Allan Manings and David Durston
May 20, 2010
After Allan Manings, a television comedy writer, died on May 12, the Los Angeles Times ran a medium-length obituary which offered an adequate summary of Manings's career. The obit foregrounded some warm quotes from his stepdaughter, the actress Meredith Baxter, which I suspect would not have received as much prominence had Baxter not made news recently by revealing her homosexuality. What's most interesting about Dennis McLellan's piece in the Times, though, is what it left out.
Manings came to prominence late in life. In his mid-forties, he won an Emmy as part of the original writing staff of Laugh-In. In fact, according to an invaluable interview with Manings in Tom Stempel's Storytellers to a Nation: A History of American Television Writing, Manings was the first writer sought out by Laugh-In's creator, George Schlatter, to work on the show. Manings served as a head writer on the popular sketch show for four seasons, and was thought of (in Schlatter's words) as the "conscience of Laugh-In," because he fought more aggressively than anyone else to include political material in the show's gags. When all ten of Laugh-In's writers crowded on stage to accept their Emmy in 1968, it was Manings who quipped, "I'm sorry we couldn't all be here tonight."
After Laugh-In, Manings became a part of Norman Lear's expansive sitcom factory of the seventies, helping to develop Good Times in 1974 and co-creating One Day at a Time the following year. Manings wrote One Day at a Time with his wife, Whitney Blake (Baxter's mother), and the pair derived the show's original premise from Blake's own experiences.
The earliest of Manings's credits cited in the Times obituary is Leave It to Beaver. Manings wrote two episodes of Beaver during its final seasons, and didn't particularly care for the show; he was already looking ahead to the more realistic humor of the Lear era. (I had thought for a long time that Manings was the last surviving Leave It to Beaver writer, but I realize now that that distinction probably belongs to Wilton Schiller, a writer better known for his work on dramatic series like The Fugitive and Mannix.)
Leave It to Beaver was also Manings's comeback from the blacklist, and that's the conspicuous omission from the Los Angeles Times obit. Manings had gotten started in television writing a "few sketches" (Stempel) for Your Show of Shows and then joined the staff of one of its successors, The Imogene Coca Show, along with his then-writing partner, Robert Van Scoyk. After a year or two, Manings's agent tipped him off that he'd become a political sacrifice, and Manings took refuge in a novel place: Canada. (Although many blacklistees went to England, Mexico, France, or Spain in search of work, I can't think any others of note who spent their lean years in Canada.) Manings may have found some work in live television there, but after a time he ended up working on a forty-acre horse farm. Manings sold manure to other local farmers and realized, as he related to Tom Stempel, that Hollywood would pay more for horse shit. As soon as the blacklist began to thaw, Manings moved to Los Angeles.
(A footnote: In his interview with Stempel, Manings identified Beaver as the show that ended his exile, although Manings's papers reveal that Ichabod and Me, a dud sitcom created by Beaver producers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, was probably his first post-blacklist credit, in 1961.)
Manings's blacklisting is no secret, and I'm certainly not implying that some rightist conspiracy has suppressed the facts. Still, it's curious that the Times steered so carefully around that portion of Manings's biography. It seems doubtful that McLellan simply didn't know about it, since his obit references Manings's political activism more than once. There's a quote from Lear about Manings's commitment as a voter and a citizen, and Baxter describes him as "a very outspoken liberal." Perhaps it's just that the blacklist is old news these days, first to be sacrificed for length ahead of soft quotes from celebrities.
Ironically, in Stempel's book, Manings chose to clam up about the blacklist, too. His only direct quote on the matter is: "I fronted for some, others fronted for me." I'd always hoped for, but never got, a chance to press Manings further on the subject.
Last December, in this interview, Meredith Baxter discussed the reactions of some of her family members after she decided to come out of the closet. She mentioned her stepfather, although only by his first name, so I doubt that anyone realized (or cared) that she was talking about Allan Manings. But through her, Manings got in a marvelous last word.
"I went to Allan and I said, 'I'm dating women,'" Baxter related. "And he said, 'Hmm. So am I.' And that was that."
As long as this entry is getting filed under the Corrections Department, we may as well turn our attention to one David E. Durston, who also died this month. Durston is remembered mainly as the auteur behind the low-budget cult horror film I Drink Your Blood. I've never seen the movie, and I know little about Durston. Judging by his resume, as enumerated in this perhaps lengthier-than-deserved Hollywood Reporter obit, Durston seems to have been one of those figures who hovered on the fringes of the movie industry for decades, carving out a marginal career with an energy that surpassed his talent.
Picking on the recently deceased is a joyless exercise, but in the interest of the historical record, I have to call foul on this claim, quoted from the Hollywood Reporter but repeated in substance by many other sources: "Durston wrote for such ground-breaking TV shows as Playhouse 90, Rheingold Playhouse, Tales of Tomorrow – one of the earliest science fiction anthology shows – Kraft Theatre, and Danger."
Resume padding is common in the entertainment industry (and everywhere else), and in the pre-internet days you could get away with it for a long time. When I interviewed one prominent writer-producer of the sixties and seventies, I asked him about the Philco Television Playhouse, which had turned up on some lists of his credits. Somewhat embarrassed, the man admitted that he had never written for Philco. When he was young and struggling, Philco (the anthology on which Paddy Chayefsky's "Marty" debuted) was the most prestigious credit a television writer could have, so he simply added it to his resume. In his case, the chutzpah paid off. I think Durston may have tried the same thing.
A writer named Stephen Thrower, who interviewed Durston at length, has compiled the most detailed list of Durston's credits that I can find. Note how it remains vague about the big dramatic anthologies – Danger, Studio One, Kraft Television Theatre, Playhouse 90. No dates, no episode titles.
Let's start with the easy ones. Thrower's resume for Durston lists four teleplays for Tales of Tomorrow, and three of those are confirmed in Alan Morton's The Complete Directory to Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Television Series (Other Worlds, 1997). A fourth, "The Evil Within," is credited on-screen to another writer, Manya Starr. Then there's the Rheingold Playhouse – or, actually, there isn't, because there was no Rheingold Playhouse. Durston may have meant this production, "A Hit Is Made," which seems to have been a one-time live broadcast, sponsored by Rheingold Beer and telecast from Chicago in 1951. A few years later, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., hosted a dramatic anthology called the Rheingold Theatre, and by christening the earlier show the "Rheingold Playhouse" Durston could have hoped to confuse it with the more impressive Fairbanks series.
It's very difficult to verify credits from Danger or the Kraft Television Theatre. Many of the segments are lost. Often the credits would be dropped if an episode ran long, or the reviewers for the trades or the newspapers simply wouldn't catch them as they watched the show live. But the records for Studio One are closer to complete, and I'm convinced that I have seen an accurate list of writing credits for the entire run of Playhouse 90. David Durston's name is not among them. Moreover, Playhouse 90 was a Rolls Royce of a show, very self-conscious about its prestige. With rare exceptions, only established "name" writers were invited to contribute to Playhouse 90, and Durston would not have fit that description.
Of course, it is possible that Durston contributed to one of these shows without credit – but all of them? I could go on: this book offers a Durston bio with still more credits that look bogus, including, of all things, Hart to Hart, whose writers have been well-documented and do not seem to include Durston. But you get the idea. Entertainment news does not, and never has, received the same scrutiny by editors and fact checkers as "real" news. Much of the information that gets accepted as fact is just plain wrong.
(And if anyone out there can provide any solid facts about the David Durston credits I've disputed, by all means post them below.)

The blacklist went away, huh? Not really: the most recent person to suffer was Janeane Garafalo, although in a limited fashion

Any idea where in Canada Manings worked? It's a big country.

Manings' CBC credits all seem to be with Toronto-based shows. He wrote for various variety shows in the late 50's into the early 1960's such as "The Barris Beat", "Here's Duffy", and "Fancy Free". He is also credited as being a contributing writer on CBC's long-running panel show "Front Page Challenge", however the exact timeframe is unclear. Manings did appear as an regular on-air panelist on another CBC show "Flashback". His tenure appears to have been from 1962-1966 on this program.

Allan Mannings was a panelist on CBC tv show Flasback . i met him there I did research for the show.. i dont believe anyone at the time knew of his history.If they did no one ever said anything. He married an actress and the marriage dissolved quickly.He left Toronto to return to Hollywood in 1966. He was very clever, witty but kept very much to himself.Became a friend of playwright Bernard Slade.

Allan Manings was extremely prominent on CBC television in the 1960's, both seen on-air and in the credits of various shows.

I hope you aren't tired of all the recipes I've been posting lately. These next two are actually reprints of recipes I posted back in 2009. They are so good, however, that they've become Thanksgiving favorites. Both recipes serve about 8 people.
I really love this cranberry sauce. I have a couple of family members who still prefer the can shaped stuff, but this has been a hit with the rest. It makes a large batch, which means leftovers and that makes me happy.
Orange-Rosemary Cranberry Sauce
Makes 3½ cups sauce
2 packages fresh cranberries (24oz each)
1.5 cups sugar
4 large strips of orange peel
1/2 cup water
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
Rinse and drain cranberries. In a large sauce pan, add cranberries, sugar, orange peel and water. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer 15 minutes. Add rosemary sprigs and simmer 5-10 minutes more. Remove from heat, and stir in orange juice. Reserve 1 cup of sauce for the pie. Let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to a week. To serve, bring to room temperature and remove rosemary and orange peel, garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig.
The next recipe is a pie that went from a way to use up that leftover cranberry sauce (a great way), to a planned Thanksgiving day dessert. Rick looks forward to this pie all year long now.
I typically use frozen peaches that we harvested from the Western slope in the summer time. Fresh peaches would certainly work as well, but they are not really at their peak around Thanksgiving. Sometimes the frozen peaches release A LOT of juice. If they are super juicy, I throw a handful or so of rolled oats into the pie filling to soak it up. This is totally optional, of course. If you don't like oats in your pie, just pour off some of the excess juice before adding the peaches into the filling mixture.
Peach-Cranberry Pie
1 home-made pie crust for a double crust pie
6 cups frozen, sliced, unsweetened peaches, defrosted and undrained
1 cup left-over orange-rosemary cranberry sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 – 3/4 cup rolled oats (optional)
2 Tbs butter
Preheat oven to 375°. Put bottom pie crust in a deep-dish pie plate. Stir together peaches, cranberry sauce, sugar, flour and, if needed, oats. Pour into prepared crust. Dot with butter and top with second crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cover edges of pie crust with foil if the top is browning too quickly. Let cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
This pie is pretty topped with a lattice crust, like I did last year, but I've also just thrown chunks of extra rolled out dough on top, or even used a cast iron skillet and only a top crust with simple slits cut into it. This year I plan to cut slits into my top crust to look like a rosemary sprig. Wish me luck with that fanciness. 😉
Next week I'll announce the winner of the DVD giveaway. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.

Even right-leaning Rasmussen poll says Tea Party movement has lost much of its popularity
Pat Cunningham
Well, THIS is a bit encouraging, isn't it?
Views of the Tea Party movement are at their lowest point ever, with voters for the first time evenly divided when asked to match the views of the average Tea Party member against those of the average member of Congress. Only eight percent (8%) now say they are members of the Tea Party, down from a high of 24% in April 2010 just after passage of the national health care law.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 30% of Likely U.S. Voters now have a favorable opinion of ...

Thornton Pl. 28, The Narrow-leaved Kalmia
Oppenheimer Editions Print
23 1/2" x 18 1/2"
Limited edition of 500
Published 2002
Blind embossed with the Oppenheimer Editions and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew logos
The Temple of Flora, The Oppenheimer Kew Gardens Edition
Dr. Robert Thornton's Temple of Flora, 1798—1810, the third and final part of his New illustration of the sexual system of Carolus von Linnaeus, is perhaps the single most famous of all florilegia. The driving force and visionary behind the creation of this great work, Dr. Robert Thornton employed other artists and engravers to produce it. Printed in color and finished by hand, a variety of techniques were used, including aquatint, mezzotint, stipple, and line engraving. Most plates were altered at various points, resulting in as many as four distinct states for some images.
Dr. Robert Thornton (c. 1768—1837) intended to issue 70 plates dramatically and poetically illustrating Linnaeus' discoveries about the sexual system of plants. In actuality, only 33 plates were completed before the well-stationed physician faced financial ruin. The project fell victim to Dr. Robert Thornton's fanatical attention to detail and changing tastes of a social elite, who had become somewhat jaded by the preponderance of great flower books created during this period. When Thornton died in 1837 his family was nearly destitute. Despite his setbacks, Dr. Robert Thornton's epic depictions of flowers are celebrated as one of the most significant artistic contributions to botanical art of that period.

Today's Music: The Dangerous Summer – The Permanent Rain
Today, we return to the playful corruption of great literature, in a piece requested by the much loved (she paid me to say that. Even though it's true.) Ginger Snaap.
The main story will follow at some point (I should probably reread…nahhhh), but this is the first piece to begin the epic.
(No, The Silmarillion doesn't count. Because I've never read it.)
So pull up a mug of that fine hobbit wine, sharpen the tips of your elven ears, and threaten your neighbors into silence with your Dwarvish axe.
As we limeri-cize…The Hobbit….
The Hobbit
To him, being hungry was the worst.
He stole Precious and made Gollum's heart burst.
The Dwarves sought to bag him
To help beat the Dragon.
That's how Bilbo spent his eleventy-first.
You're welcome.
(You can see all the limericks by clicking Limerick above the banner.)
And as a palate cleanser, please, enjoy this.

SEATTLE—People openly lit joints under the Space Needle and on Seattle's sidewalks—then blew the smoke at TV news cameras. To those looking to "get baked," the city's police department suggested pizza and a "Lord of the Rings" movie marathon.
What, exactly, is going on in Washington state?
Marijuana possession became legal under state law Thursday, the day a measure approved by voters to regulate marijuana like alcohol took effect. It prompted midnight celebrations from pot activists who say the war on drugs has failed.
But as the dawn of legalization arrives, Washington and Colorado, where a similar law passed last month, now face some genuinely complicated dilemmas: How on Earth do you go about creating a functioning, legal weed market? How do you ensure adults the freedom to use pot responsibly, or not so responsibly, while keeping it away from teenagers?
And perhaps most pressingly, will the Justice Department just stand by while the states issue licenses to the growers, processors and sellers of a substance that, under federal law, remains very much illegal?
"We're building this from the ground all the way up," said Brian Smith, spokesman for the Washington Liquor Control Board, which is charged with regulating the drug. "The initiative didn't just wave a magic wand and make everybody here an expert on marijuana."
The measures approved Nov. 6 have two main facets. First, they OK the possession of up to an ounce of marijuana by adults over 21. That took effect Thursday in Washington, though it remains illegal—for now—to sell pot, so people have to keep getting it from the marijuana fairy.
In Colorado, where pot fans will also be able to grow their own plants, the law takes effect by Jan. 5.
The other part of the measures, the regulatory schemes, are trickier. Washington's Liquor Control Board, which has been regulating alcohol for 78 years, has a year to adopt rules for the fledgling pot industry: How many growers, processors and stores should there be in each county? Should there be limits on potency? How should the pot be inspected, packaged and labeled?
To help answer those questions, officials will turn to experts in the field—including police, public policy experts and some of the state's many purveyors of medical marijuana. Smith anticipates undercover monitoring operations to make sure the private, state-licensed stores aren't selling to minors.
With legalization, officials need to look at some of the measures that have been shown to reduce teen drinking, said Derek Franklin, president of the Washington Association for Substance Abuse and Violence Prevention. That includes public education about the risks of pot use and driving while stoned, emphasize patrols to look for stoned drivers, and encouraging cities to adopt laws that hold parents accountable if they host parties at which kids are provided marijuana.
"We're really going to need to get all hands on deck to sort through this," he said.
The marijuana will be taxed heavily, with revenues possibly reaching hundreds of millions of dollars a year for schools, health care, basic government services and substance abuse prevention.
Unless, of course, the Justice Department has something to say about it.
Few people question the states' ability to simply remove all penalties under their own laws for marijuana. The federal government would remain free to raid state-licensed growers or stores and prosecute those involved in federal court, just as they remain free to shut down medical marijuana dispensaries in states with medical marijuana laws.
Whether a state can regulate an illegal substance is another question. Many constitutional law scholars say the answer is no: Washington and Colorado's regulatory schemes obviously conflict with marijuana's prohibition in the federal Controlled Substances Act, and when state and federal laws conflict, the feds win out, they say.
So the Justice Department could likely sue to block the regulatory schemes. But will it? What's better, from the administration's perspective—an ounce of weed legalized with regulation or an ounce of weed legalized with no oversight?
The department has given no hints about its plans.
While pot fans wait for an answer, they are partying. Though Washington's law prohibits smoking in public, about 200 gathered under the Space Needle for a New Year's Eve-style countdown to midnight. A few dozen gathered on a sidewalk outside the north Seattle headquarters of the annual Hempfest celebration and did the same, offering joints to reporters.
"I feel like a kid in a candy store!" shouted Hempfest volunteer Darby Hageman. "It's all becoming real now!"
The Seattle Police Department emailed its 1,300 officers, telling them not to write any citations for smoking pot in public until further notice. A voter initiative passed in 2003 made marijuana enforcement the department's lowest priority, and for years officers have looked the other way while thousands light up at Hempfest.
Officers will nevertheless advise people not to smoke in public, police spokesman Jonah Spangenthal-Lee wrote on the SPD Blotter. "The police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a 'Lord of the Rings' marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to."
He offered a catchy new directive referring to the film "The Big Lebowski," popular with many marijuana fans: "The Dude abides, and says 'take it inside!'"

Thus I was happy to find that Les Petites Fermières (distributed by Anderson International Foods in Mineola, NY), has an interesting collection of available cheeses and most can be found at supermarkets and kosher groceries throughout the US and Canada. Some of my favorites include Gouda, Fontina, Havarti and Havarti with Dill.
Gouda is a distinctively flavored cheese, first developed in Gouda (Netherlands), as it ages it develops a slight caramel like taste.
Fontina, like Gouda, is made from cow's milk and it originated in Italy's Valle d'Aosta. Today, however it is also made in the US, France, Denmark and Sweden. Les Petites Fermières' selection is softer and creamier than its fully aged, darker, Italian sibling.
Havarti was first made in the mid 19th century in an experimental farm, just north of Copenhagen, Norway. It has a subtle flavor that makes it perfect for slicing, grilling or melting. I also like its sibling Havarti with Dill, which has a somewhat stronger yet delightful taste due to the herb.
When I want something sharper I go for their Cheddar or the Mediterranean Jack. Frankly, I found all of them delicious! I like a cheese omelette for breakfast, so I made one using various cheeses.
CS' Simple Cheese Omelette
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup of Les Petites Fermières Chef's Blend (natural cheddar and pizza style blend) Shredded Cheese
- 1 slice of Mozzarella
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Roland Oven Roasted Tomatoes (optional)
- Melt the butter in an 8" inch skillet, over a medium flame, until it starts sizzling. Tilt skillet until bottom is completely covered.
- Drop in the two eggs and tilt the skillet to cover as much as much of it as possible.
- Sprinkle the Chef's Blend cheese on top of the eggs liberally. Within a few seconds it will melt.
- With a spatula reach under the omelette and fold it over itself.
- Immediately cover the top with slice of Mozarella.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. I also added a couple of oven roasted tomatoes over of the Mozarella. Do not overcook.
Sometimes I also add other spices, when I mix the eggs, prior to folding them into the skillet. Delicious!
For those of you who prefer organic food, Anderson International Foods also distributes Organic and Kosher. If you love cheese you'll notice the difference between organic and regular cheeses. I did and absolutely liked the difference.

Drake Benefit recently had a great Boston Globe piece, titled "The Confidence Game," examining the situation of trust. In it, he examines some of the techniques employed by Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter (aka Clark Rockefeller) in his constructed life as Clark Rockefeller.
* * *
Human beings are social animals, and our first instinct is to trust others. Con men, of course, have long known this – their craft consists largely of playing on this predilection, and turning it to their advantage.
But recently, behavioral scientists have also begun to unravel the inner workings of trust. Their aim is to decode the subtle signals that we send out and pick up, the cues that, often without our knowledge, shape our sense of someone's reliability. Researchers have discovered that surprisingly small factors — where we meet someone, whether their posture mimics ours, even the slope of their eyebrows or the thickness of their chin — can matter as much or more than what they say about themselves. We size up someone's trustworthiness within milliseconds of meeting them, and while we can revise our first impression, there are powerful psychological tendencies that often prevent us from doing so — tendencies that apply even more strongly if we've grown close.
"Trust is the baseline," says [Situationist contributor] Susan Fiske, a social psychologist at Princeton University. "Trustworthiness is the very first thing that we decide about a person, and once we've decided, we do all kinds of elaborate gymnastics to believe in people."
* * *
Why trust exists in the first place has been something of a puzzle for scholars of human behavior. . . .
* * *
Reconciling trust with selfishness has been a challenge for at least a generation of social scientists. One of the most influential formulations was laid out in a short paper by a Harvard biology graduate student named Robert L. Trivers in 1971. Trivers hypothesized that the sort of advanced cooperation that allowed people to build pyramids, fight in phalanxes, and hold quadrennial elections had emerged out of what he called "reciprocal altruism," a basic "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" instinct. The evident benefits of cooperation had ensured that a package of human emotions evolved to encourage it. Trust was one of them, but so was guilt, which discouraged us from cheating in collaborative situations, and moral outrage, which galvanized the community to punish anyone who did cheat.
In recent decades, a whole body of research has grown out of work such as Trivers's. Much of the literature looks at trust games, stripped-down situations like the Prisoner's Dilemma in which participants are given a choice of cooperating or acting selfishly, with stark rewards and punishments set to encourage them to do one or the other. Over repeated iterations of such games, one of the most common strategies among participants — and one of the most effective — is a basic tit-for-tat: start out assuming a partner will cooperate, but if they don't, punish them by refusing to cooperate as well.
"The default is trust until there's a reason not to," says Robyn Dawes, a psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University.
* * *
Trust games don't really explain how this congenital gullibility works. To do that, researchers need to observe the actual social world – a place where there is often too little time and too little information coming from too many different places to form a reasoned judgment.
When deciding who to trust, the research suggests, people use shortcuts. For example, they look at faces. According to recent work by Nikolaas Oosterhof and Alexander Todorov of Princeton's psychology department, we form our first opinions of someone's trustworthiness through a quick physiognomic snapshot. . . .
In a paper published in June, they suggested that our unconscious bias is a byproduct of more adaptive instincts: the features that make a face strike us as trustworthy, if exaggerated, make a face look happy – with arching inner eyebrows and upturned mouths – and an exaggerated "untrustworthy" face looks angry – with a furrowed brow and frown. In this argument, people with "trustworthy" faces simply have, by the luck of the genetic draw, faces that look a little more cheerful to us.
Just as in other cognitive shorthands, we make these judgments quickly and unconsciously — and as a result, Oosterhof and Todorov point out, we can severely and immediately misjudge people. In reality, of course, cheekbone shape and eyebrow arc have no relationship with honesty.
Another set of cues, and a particularly powerful one, is body language. Mimicry, in particular, seems to put us at our ease. Recent work by Tanya Chartrand, a psychology professor at Duke, and work by Jeremy Bailenson and Nick Yee, media scholars at Stanford, have shown that if a person, or even a computer-animated figure, mimics our movements while talking to us, we will find our interlocutor significantly more persuasive and honest.
* * *
To earn someone's trust, . . . even rather blatant aping can do the trick. One of the landmark studies on influence was done in 1965 by the Ohio State psychologist Timothy Brock. In it, shoppers at a paint store were approached by a research assistant who offered them advice on what type of paint to choose. He told half of the shoppers he approached that he had recently bought the same amount of paint that they were looking to buy, he told the other half he had bought a different amount.
By and large, the first group took his advice, and the second did not. Something as trivial as buying the same-sized bucket of paint, Brock argued, can forge a bond with a total stranger.

A soldier tries to sleep. But he is not safe in his dreams. Jolted awake by a nightmare, the combat veteran fumbles in the dark for his 3-D glasses.
He puts them on. Around him are the faces of people whom he trusts. They fight the darkness with him. The soldier's re-lived this scene in his head and the laboratory over and over again, until it has become reassuringly familiar. The soldier knows that his pixelated friends will take him away from these troubled dreams. When the scene is over, he takes off his goggles and looks around him. The soldier is home.
The U.S. Army wants this dream sequence to become reality. In an Army-backed experiment called "Power Dreaming," Naval Hospital Bremerton in Washington State will help traumatized troops battle their nightmares -- with soothing, digitally-made dreams crafted in virtual worlds. No, this is not the script for the sequel to Inception.
The research project is in its early planning and is not expected to launch until next year, a hospital spokesperson told Danger Room. But it is picking up momentum. Last week, the Army awarded almost half a million dollars to a consulting company for help developing the experiment.
Fifty-two percent of combat veterans with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) reported having nightmares fairly often, according to the National Vietnam Veterans' Readjustment Study. "During our conscious hours, most can hide what they have become," according to a presentation delivered to the Uniformed Services Academy of Family Physicians, a nonprofit group. "But in sleep, this vigilance slacks and the dream world can become a frightening and uncontrolled experience with waking consequences."
So the researchers will ask troops to take control of the "creation of the customized healing imagery (therapeutic dreams) to counter the impact of nightmares," according to a military contracting document.
The hope is that these "power dreams" can be watched from laptops and "home training and 3-D goggles work to gradually enhance the strength of these new neurological images," according to the presentation that outlines the program's aims.
The project is another twist on biofeedback therapy, in which a PTSD-sufferer is fed real-time data on his physical stress levels so that he can be cued to calm down. If he successfully brings down his heart rate and anxiety levels, he may be rewarded with visual cues. One example of this brain-wave therapy is in use to heal troubled veterans.
The problem with existing biofeedback methods is that many patients aren't able to easily call up imaginary scenarios in their heads that will cue them to relax. So this experiment hopes to get soldiers to custom-design scenes that they can play back to themselves.
The computer program for soldiers to build out imaginary worlds and avatars on will be based on the virtual world Second Life. It will allow dream sequences to be custom designed "to develop physio-emotional states to counteract the reactive stress response inherent in trauma memories."
"The model is to develop imagery that is both customized by the [soldier] and neurologically 'distracting' to stimulate the development of a clinical relaxation response," contract documents say.
The hope is that the soldier "learns to activate the parasympathetic dream scenarios when aroused by traumatic memories by using 3D goggles, coping successfully with intrusive nightmares," according to the presentation.
It won't be easy. And there will be security hurdles, as well as technological ones, if dreams are downloaded from hospital computers onto soldiers' laptops. Because of military concerns about data breaches, there are restrictions on the use of removable hard drives and USB ports on military computers. There is also the issue of getting the right software to allow safe file transfers. "Navy systems don't jibe with civilian systems," said a hospital spokesperson. "We are striving to have a computerized method to do it that is safe and secure."

The Law of Attraction Cannot Avoid the Law of Consequence
Posted by Doctapaul in Healing, Life's Changes, Personal, Pitfalls I've Fallen Into, Self Development, Soundbytes of Wisdom on November 23, 2011
"I, me, not me, us, we attract everything that happens to us, every change, happy and sad. There is no such thing as random.
Life is more than the pursuit of happiness. It's about learning wholeness. We seek to find, become and express our true selves and thus find true happiness, from within, not without.
The more we know about ourselves, warts and all, the greater the wisdom we have to achieve what we set out to achieve. When we choose courage and willpower to act on that wisdom, the closer to true happiness we become.
So life is about a continuum of choices.
And life is about becoming.
It's a very tough climb, at times.
Seek wisdom!"
Shine on…!

This is a book about much more than romantic relationships. It is written with wonderful honesty and sincerity about love, the breakdown of relationships and how we relate to one another. It is a book that provides great insights into our own behaviour, as well as how we relate to others. It immensely readable, and I'm finding myself dipping into it over and over again for the many ideas, exercises and insights within its covers. Highly recommended whether you are in a relationship, just starting one, or looking for a relationship that will last.
Paul's engaging style and personable character perfectly suit professional coaching. I have completed a recent programme. My performance, at work, has gone from strength to strength. I am now equipped with the tools to take me to previously unimagined business heights. Thank you Paul!

Paul's genius for business coaching helped me get clarity on a number of issues very quickly. I trust Paul as my coach. I appreciate his honesty and business expertise. In particular, I really value Paul's flexibility in stepping into the role of a mentor, when he can see the benefit of doing so.
Is there any point in me saying that Paul comes highly recommended?

Anthony Lepore is the most recent contributor to our Artists Respond series – artists creating web-based projects inspired by exhibitions on view at LACMA. Lepore chose Robert Adams: The Place We Live as his jumping-off point.
For his project, Night Walk, Lepore designed a map-based interface, populated with nighttime photos he took during walks in his Pasadena neighborhood.
LEPORE: The map image is a Google Earth image of the area where I live, in Pasadena. I wanted viewers to see the geographical relationship between the San Gabriel Mountains and the flats of suburban Pasadena.
From the map, you can select and view photographs Lepore made during evening walks around his neighborhood with his dog.
LEPORE: This is taken from Mount Lowe. It's the highest mountain that you can easily climb to in the front range of the Angeles National Forest. We take friends here for our "Wow, LA isn't what you expect" hike. The entire city sparkles beneath you. There's a strange relationship between the quiet darkness of the mountains and the sea of electricity below.
A project by Robert Adams called Summer Nights informed Lepore's approach.
LEPORE: Adams was making photographs on his summer evening walks around the Denver area. I love his nighttime photographs–there is something strange and extraterrestrial about this body of work. Adams hovers like a visitor around the edges of his city peering into lit windows and empty streets. The hot desert sun has been replaced by streetlamps and rolling carnival lights.
Adams is one of my favorite photographers, but when I first came across his work in college I found it a little boring. It took some time, and discovering Adam's book Los Angeles Spring, for me to really connect with his photographs. They are quiet, precise, never wasteful and deeply human. They document an unsteady changing line between the wild and suburbia, carrying the echo of both a sunny hymn and a eulogy.
LEPORE: Recently, Pasadena was hit by a crazy windstorm. It was like a mad fever dream all night, like being on a small boat. Since then I've been gathering debris from the windstorm and making impromptu still lifes, like the picture of the daisy bush coming through the blinds. I found these blinds in the street – they had been blown off a house. The lighting comes from a security lamp on someone's front lawn. I was excited to create something on my walks, using the evening darkness like a black studio backdrop.
Lepore says that growing up in Burbank, his own relationship to nature had been somewhat mediated. Through photography, he started to explore the landscape of Southern California.
LEPORE: My mom worked for Disney for most of my childhood, and we visited Disneyland often. I loved the way the shiny and molded landscapes tried so earnestly to recreate the wilderness. While some kids were hiking through the Sierras, I was zooming through the Matterhorn and rolling along the rivers of Splash Mountain.
Exploring the ways we recreate nature points to both our separation from it, and our deep need to be part of it. Nature exists for us in the way we mold it and the way we see it.

Yes guys, I have finally got round to doing this! As the official calendar has finally been confirmed, I can do ours, which I have done. There are other rules on there and some I shall nick from the Collantine Cup and add in.
We shall get to cars soon, once I get everyone here. But yes, we shall be going soon!
As I promised, some rules nicked form @commonmonsoon:
Absences – Drivers that fail to attend races without giving prior warning will be given a warning that – if not heeded – may result in their seat being offered to a reserve. If it's not possible to attend a race and you notify the others in advance, you will not be penalised.
Forum Behaviour – The philosophy hasn't changed since last season: if you have a grievance about something that happens on track involving another competitor, do NOT make angry, accusatory, childish comments in this thread. We do not accept or put up with that sort of thing in this series. That is your one and only warning. If you have an issue with someone else, first of all remember that this is a video game and if you're really that upset by it, you should maybe reconsider your life priorities. Secondly, if you wish, contact the person with whom you have a grievance in private, either through F1F PM, PSN or another private channel.
Invites will be sent out at 9:50am GMT (10 minutes before event start). Drivers can join at any time between then and the 10:00am GMT start, but if a driver fails to enter the room within that time without notifying that they will be late, the race will begin and that driver will not be allowed to join the session.
As ever, there will be a chat room created for each Round of the Championship. The new season brings new rules regarding the chat room however, and they be this. You MUST join the chat room if you wish to race. After qualifying, there will be a 2 minute wait to allow drivers to make a toilet break, get a drink or do whatever else is required to prepare for the race. During this time, no one is to select 'Go to Race' on the menu screen. I, (or whoever is the nominated host for that particular round) will ask you all to confirm that you are ready to proceed before beginning the countdown to the start of the race. You shall confirm you are ready to race via the chat room and therefore if you are not in the chat room, you cannot respond quickly and therefore will not be invited to race.
As a side note guys. I only want people here who are serious about joining for the whole season, not just doing a few races and then disappearing off the face of the planet (or F1 Fanatic in this case). In some cases, like Asanator and Brooksy007, I know they struggle to make each race, but they always comment that they won't be racing and keep us updated. This is what I want.25th February 2013, 21:59 at 9:59 pm #225782JamieFranklinF1Participant
Just posting here to make it official that I shall be here, looking to carry on from my Winter season success of two titles :D
(As a side note: Will the 2012 Championship standings be updated soon? :P)25th February 2013, 22:02 at 10:02 pm #225783Oli PeacockParticipant

@bradley13 I cannot commit to a full season, therefore I will not be participating. However, I am willing to offer my services as a season reserve, so hopefully I can still participate a bit when numbers are a bit low.25th February 2013, 22:20 at 10:20 pm #225785RagingInfernoParticipant
I don't think I could commit to racing on Sunday's as it isn't the most practical day for me. I'm 100% up for Saturday races in the F2 championship however, and would be more than happy to fill in any remaining seats when I'm available for the F1 series.25th February 2013, 22:57 at 10:57 pm #225786
Ok guys, let me know if you can make it or not :)
@bradley13 – Confirmed
@JamieFranklinF1 – Confirmed
@alfie – Confirmed
@olliekart – Confirmed
As for you guys, I have you in as 'mid-season entrants' at the moment.
@ed24f126th February 2013, 7:01 at 7:01 am #225787AlfieParticipant
Aye I'm in.26th February 2013, 11:53 at 11:53 am #225788sato113Participant
ooh could i join? mercedes or team mates with @alfie in whatever car. if he agrees!26th February 2013, 12:52 at 12:52 pm #225789
@sato113 – At the moment I had 16 people but you are on my reserves list, at the top infact. However, you joined one of my Championships before and didn't compete in a single race and also never commented again. I don't want that this year, I only want people here who are going to be active. I know you have been in the Collantine Cup, which is good, however not as much so in the Winter Series. Will you be active here if you can get a spot?26th February 2013, 13:05 at 1:05 pm #225791JamieFranklinF1Participant
I'd also like to add, as I'm sure will be the case, teams will be chosen based on finishing positions in the previous in-season Championship, so it won't be a first come, first serve basis. ( @Bradley13 can let me know if I'm wrong).
I believe this means, that with Shane gone, Brooksy leaving, and Moss leaving too, that puts Bradley at first pick, and I think me second. Obviously, I can't give a list, as the former Championship's table is still incomplete :P26th February 2013, 14:36 at 2:36 pm #225792sato113Participant
@bradley13 im sorry if you saw it that way. however I joined that series as a reserve for jamie's teammate at round 2 (malaysia). I was never confirmed as one of the full time drivers. I did express my desire to continue in the series but having no internet at my flat for almost a month meant i couldnt compete in Hungary. there may have not been any space anyway. because I was a reserve. I hope you understand.
And yes I would be active.26th February 2013, 14:43 at 2:43 pm #225793
@sato113 – Absolutely. It will be great to have you :)
@JamieFranklinF1 is 100% correct. The first driver to confirm their participation for the full season that finished highest last year, will choose first. That may sounds complicated but I know what I mean, thankfully I have last years final standings, so I know :)26th February 2013, 17:13 at 5:13 pm #225794ShaneB457Participant
@bradley13 I will be able to come back racing at Monza, if there is space and you want me to be there :P Best of luck with the championship guys.26th February 2013, 17:31 at 5:31 pm #225795RagingInfernoParticipant
@bradley13 What is the plan with the F2 championship? Are the people who can't get a seat here going there or…?26th February 2013, 17:38 at 5:38 pm #225796electroliteParticipant
If I'm being honest I think the season itself is way too long. It's also the reason a lot of people probably drop out halfway through, as it might lose it's momentum, so to speak. Nevertheless, I'm definitely considering it, as well, racing is fun.

The industry continues to drag itself into the modern age when it comes to licensing and renewals for the certificates we all need. I recently read of a course offering that will save some money and make a radar renewal a bit more convenient, I hope.
Calhoon MEBA Engineering School has announced a program that will allow you to study online for your radar re-cert and then travel to a satellite exam center to test. As far as I know, it is available to all with payment, not just the MEBA membership. I have no direct knowledge of how well this works or doesn't.
I just had a chance to look this over this morning and believe I may take advantage of this in 2014 when I'm up for renewal. Presently the quoted $235.00 price is reasonable when you factor in the ever dwindling amount of brick and mortar schools that offer this course in reach of most candidates. I know I'd rather avoid a five hour round trip to my nearest maritime academy for what amounts to a 10 question quiz.
We all know the one day radar renewal course is actually a practice session in the morning and an exam after lunch. You have to show up ready to test, you either pass or fail. If you fail you're given a price for the extended renewal course and you'll need to re-test at the end of that. Add three days plus expenses to the total.
The USCG REC's do not offer the tests anymore and haven't for quite a while. You're forced to pay and attend an approved "school" and get your cert. The classes offered invariably run from the full five day soup-to-nuts class to variations of the renewal curriculum anywhere from one to three days. Add lodging, meals, gas and tolls and it can add up to a sizable chunk of change.
The online course touts its unfettered access to instructors and the benefit of studying online at your leisure. The course provides a nice radar emulator which does a good job of presenting a radar screen and target advance in real time. All the forms you'll need for plotting are available and are shipped within a day of payment.
This is what sells the program; You then can schedule the test near your home using the Prometric Center Locator.
You make an appointment and can show up ready to test without feeling rushed or unprepared. Not everyone will have the benefit of a testing center inside of fifty miles, but a lot of us will. If nothing else, it's an option.
To see if the offering will be convenient for you, check your proximity to a testing center , select "locate a test center" and select radar observer re-certification online. Select your location from the drop-down menu to find a test center.
Just thought it sounded like something worth checking into. Anyone with direct first hand knowledge is welcome to add what they feel is relevant.

From our sister blog, Law & Mind, here is an excellent post by Harvard Law LL.M. candidate David Simon. Simon summarizes a fascinating chapter by Situationist Contributors Eric Knowles and Peter Ditto (forthcoming in "Ideology, Psychology, and Law" (Jon Hanson, ed., 2011).
* * *
[T]he attribution of principle or its absence is more than an evaluative stance; it is also a lay-psychological hypothesis concerning the causes of another's behavior.
– Eric D. Knowles & Peter H. Ditto, Preference , Principle, & Casuistry
We often value people who act on their principles more than those who act solely on their preferences. In other words, we value behavior that is justified by reasons rather than emotions. This shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone. It's ostensibly why people don't like politicians who "flip-flop," whether they be "liberal" or "conservative." So, when people make decisions based on emotion, rather than reason, we think they are "biased" or "irrational." (Knowles and Ditto call this the principle-preference dichotomy.) What's strange, though, is that we often view our political opponents as emotional decision-makers, while we view people of our own political leanings as principled decision-makers.
The question Knowles & Ditto want to answer is, why?
They offer two reasons. First, they argue that this results from the "actor-observer bias": the tendency to see one's own actions as based on beliefs and others' as based on desire. Imagine, for example, Political Candidate is running for office. Her platform is to "make government smaller by cutting taxes and entitlement programs." When Margo decides to support Political Candidate, Margo thinks she does so because of her beliefs about small government. Jim, on the other hand, views Margo's behavior as merely reflecting her desires. Jim might say that Margo supported Political Candidate merely because she will receive more money in tax breaks while Margo might claim she dislikes lots of government regulation. The reason for the discrepancy, according to the authors, is one's access to mental states: Margo has access to her own mental states (sort of), and Jim does not. Margo's view of her own behavior is therefore privileged; Jim's is epistemologically impoverished. As a result, she views her own choice as one of principle while Jim views it as one of desire.
Further reinforcing this view is individuals' desire to see themselves and members of their group positively. As the authors note:
[T]he preference-principle dichotomy is powerfully reinforced by individuals' desire to hold a positive view of themselves, as well as of others who share their attitudes and group memberships.
To achieve this end, people become "naive realists," perceiving themselves as "reasoned and free from bias." In other words, individuals view their own attitudes as "reasoned," "objective," and, therefore, principled. That provides them with a much more flattering picture of themselves than one in which they make decisions based (solely) on preferences. Forget the somewhat false dichotomy for a moment and just ask yourself: Do you see yourself as someone who makes reasoned, as opposed to emotional, judgments? Do you see those who disagree with you differently?
There's still a problem, though. Individuals often seem to be seeking self-interested goals while offering principled reasons. This
should, at least in principle (no pun intended), destroy the "objectiveness" people purport to adhere to when making decisions. Put another way, one must at least appear to be objective to gain credibility (with themselves or others). Preserving this appearance happens in two ways. First, we approach judgments "without an explicit sense that we are trying to construct a justification for one conclusion over another." Instead, our "preferences" are part of cognitive structures: satisfying them produces greater coherence than not satisfying them. So, many times our interpretation of information produces preference-satisfying conclusions.
Second, our cognitive structures can lead us to preference-satisfaction in another, sometimes unconscious way: "'shifting the standards' by which a preferred conclusion is defined." Because we do this somewhat intuitively and seemingly without pretense, Knowles & Ditto call it implicit casuistry. By this they mean there are "circumstances in which individuals unwittingly select principles that happen to provide intellectual justification for preferred conclusions." We are not good at being conscious reaonsers, always assessing problems objectively. Our brains select principles that cohere with our preferences. The principles–by way of implicit casuistry–serve in some ways to mask our preference-seeking behavior.
The reason implicit casuistry seems to work so well is because all ideologies seems equally susceptible to it. Indeed, small changes in factual situations can influence the way people use different standards. The authors give examples where subjects use either deontological (or rights-based) standards and consequentialist standards to justify certain behavior or conclusions. They show that people, regardless of their political preferences, will employ these reasoning strategies depending on the outcome that best accords with their political preferences.
Moving into the legal realm, Knowles & Ditto note that people's views of judicial decisions often correlate with the extent to which the decision satisfies their preferences. They also note that judges may manipulate canons of constitutional interpretation to server various preferences. That, of course, is in line with a mature body of scholarship on judicial behavior. Scholars like Lee Epstein, Thomas Walker, Michael Giles, Ryan Owens, Ryan Black, et al. have shown that judges often seek policy preferences when deciding how to resolve a particular case.
Of course, casuistic reasoning occurs in other domains as well. Knowles & Ditto show how casuistic reasoning occurs in the context of race. Political preferences influence how people react to and justify their decisions when race becomes an issue. They note that frequently scholars disagree about why people hold particular racial attitudes. Some scholars claim disagreements of principle cause rifts; others claim that the disagreement results from claims to competing claims for finite goods (e.g., wealth, education). Knowles & Ditto argue it's both:
The illusion of contraction may fade if one adopts a casuistic-reasoning model in which principles are frequently brought to bear dynamically in support of preferences.
In other words, people may use principles to justify their racial preferences. "Colorblindness," for example, may serve as the principle that justifies an opposition to affirmative action.
In concluding, the authors note that casuistic judgments may have temporal effects. That is, using one principle may increase the probability of using that principle in the future. In lawyer speak, we might say people have a built-in stare decisis mechanism; it's just not clear how strongly it operates in various situations or across time. Knowles & Ditto also are careful to explain that casuistic judgments are not per se illegitimate. (Here they venture into philosophy, essentially taking an hedged intuitionist stance.) Their claim is that attitudes are likely based on some form of intuition, and that intuition isn't–in and of itself–a reason to reject a claim. For this reason, they argue that casuistic judgments may be legitimate.
